Thought I'd throw this in here -- this is the plate that was on my Hawk when I bought it (photo is at seller's house, the day I went to look at the bike). Unfortunately, seller wanted to keep the plate, so I couldn't register bike with it.

I always thought those SV's looked sleek and aggressive; especially with the twin headlight cowl version. The only thing that always bothered me (and I don't know why) is the passenger seat pad. It looks like a sofa cushion. I'll see and SV and think "awww yeahhh...awww..."

Black and silver. My favorite color combo. My Vee is the opposite: mostly black with a touch of silver.

'02 Suzuki Bandit 1200S. Prev owner made it naked. I have handlebar risers on it now. Stage 1 jet kit, gsxr clutch and a chain oiler. 7-9hrs a day riding no problem- 48 to 50mpg, 200 miles before hitting reserve.

I took off last week for a three day, 1100 mile round trip, all slab and thus not exciting but it was my first long trip off the Rock (Key West) this Spring, so it marked the end of winter. I am too old to ride without a windshield.
